You're not the only one who had difficulty. I had to remove IPv6 support from the kernel to even get it to compile - then when it finally did and I booted it up, there were a whole heap of errors. I managed to reboot the system (it was the only way to get all the oops' flying past on the screen) and went back to beta7-mm1.
